You have to take all of the necessary security measures to prevent Anonymous Ransomware from attacking your Windows operating system. This includes implementing reliable anti-malware software, scanning your PC regularly, installing necessary updates, and, most important, acting carefully when using your computer and browsing the web. According to the researchers of Anti-Spyware-101.com, the most common backdoor for this infection is spam emails. The malicious launcher of this infection is camouflaged as a harmless-looking attachment, and the infection is unleashed upon opening this attachment. The worst part is that most users do not even realize that they are letting in malware, even when the attachment does not open as it should, which prevents them from taking action right away. Once this ransomware slithers in, it wreaks havoc, and deleting Anonymous Ransomware does not solve the problem.Read more »

Razy Ransomware was first sighted on July 4, 2016. It is an extremely malicious infection that will wreak havoc on your computer if it becomes infected with this ransomware. However, if your PC is already infected, then you should remove it immediately. Why? Because there is no way you can pay the ransom. The link needed to pay the ransom does not work, and there is no telling when this link will be online. In any case, you should refrain from paying the ransom because you might not receive the ransom key anyway. So if your computer becomes infected with this ransomware, then, sadly, there is nothing you can do about it. We have included a removal guide at the end of this article, but a good antimalware tool can deal with it as well.Read more »

Search.funsafetabsearch.com is a questionable search website that can emerge in your Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers after a browser hijacker manages to infiltrate your computer.

Searchhome-page.com is known to be a browser hijacker even though it looks like an ordinary search engine at first glance. This computer infection usually enters systems without permission (in most cases, it does not even inform users about the changes that will be applied) and then appears in the place of the default search engine and homepage. Even though Searchhome-page.com does not seem to be very harmful at first glance, we suggest getting rid of it as soon as possible and then setting another search engine instead of it. We suggest doing so because the presence of Searchhome-page.com might even result in the entrance of malicious software. Of course, you will not be allowed to change the settings of all your browsers unless you delete this browser hijacker from your computer, which means that you need to eliminate it as soon as possible. You will find out why it is so important to remove a browser hijacker from the system if you read the article carefully. In addition, specialists at anti-spyware-101.com are ready to help you to delete this computer infection.Read more »
